Broker VPS and hosting options
Understand the historical Free VPS registration offer and choose the current setup guide for managed MT5 hosting or your own Windows VPS.
Choose how to run MT5
Section titled “Choose how to run MT5”| Your setup | What to do |
|---|---|
| You want PineConnector to manage MT5 and its EA | Follow the Edge guide. Check the supported broker server and connection requirements there. |
| You have a Windows VPS from a broker or another provider | Connect to your VPS, then install the MT5 EA inside its remote desktop. |
| You run MT5 on your own Windows computer | Follow Install the MT5 EA and keep that computer, terminal and EA running. |
| You use a Mac | Compare the Mac setup paths. |
Check a provider’s VPS before using it
Section titled “Check a provider’s VPS before using it”Confirm that you can access a Windows desktop, install the required files and enable the EA’s DLL imports. A service called “VPS” is not automatically suitable for this installation. The MT5 installation guide describes the Windows environment and permissions required.
Ask the provider who handles restarts and updates, what keeps the VPS active, and whether charges or trading-volume conditions apply. Use its current written terms when deciding; the historical registration offer above does not establish them.
Once installed, complete the demo test. A running VPS or a connected badge does not confirm that TradingView reached the intended broker account with the expected order.
